The American Century

Next week, we are going to start on a paper about American military power around the globe.  As a lead-up to that, let’s consider how WWII helped to shape what has often been called “The American Century.”

Go through the material we have covered up to this point (from 1865 through the end of WWII).  Discuss three elements or events that you would argue helped to make the US an international power.
